Re: Translating roman numerals into integers with XSLT

You could try something like this -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"      

xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"           
xmlns:num="http://whatever" version="2.0" >
    
<xsl:output method="text"/>
    
<xsl:variable name="max" select="10000" />
    
<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:call-template name="RomanToInteger">
    <xsl:with-param name="roman_number" select="'XXI'"
/>        
  </xsl:call-template>        
</xsl:template>
    
<xsl:template name="RomanToInteger">
  <xsl:param name="roman_number" />
  <xsl:for-each select="1 to $max">
    <xsl:if test="num:toRoman(.) = $roman_number">
      <xsl:value-of select="." />
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
    
<xsl:function name="num:toRoman" as="xs:string">
  <xsl:param name="value" as="xs:integer"/>
  <xsl:number value="$value" format="I"/>
</xsl:function>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The above XSL assumes, that there is some maximum
value of the number(in this example 10000).

I see this as an area of improvement..

Is there a way to break from xsl:for-each loop when
some condition is met?
here , xsl:if test="num:toRoman(.) = $roman_number"
